Be My Enemy
The Waterboys
Well the dawn is howling and the mainframe shakes
Feel like I've been sleeping in a cellar full of snakes
My wings have been clipped
My shoes have been stuck with glue
Well if you'll be my enemy
I'll be your enemy too
Now I've got goons on my landing
Thieves on my trail
Nazis on my telephone
Willing me to fail
They were all sent by someone
Obviously you
Well if you'll be my enemy
I'll be your enemy too
Hah
Now I've a bucketful of Babylon
I got a handful of lead
I'm gonna put them in a gun man
Point it at your head
Because you stole all my friends
And you gave me the buffalo blues
Mm well if you'll be my enemy
I'll be your enemy too
Now from the slime on your tongue
To the nails on your toes
From the scales on your skin
To the stains on your clothes
You're gonna make me have to do something
That I do not want to do
But if you will be my enemy
I'll be your enemy too
Waah
Hoh
My hands are tied
Nailed to the floor
Feel like I'm knocking on the unknown door
Gun at my back
Blade at my throat
Keep on finding hate mail in the pockets of my coat
Well I've been trying to grow
I've been cooling my heels
I've have been working the treadmill
I've been working in the fields
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't catch my breath
I can't stop talking
And I look like death
But I will put right this disgrace
I will rearrange you
'Cos if you'll be my enemy
I'll be your enemy too
Mm if you'll be my enemy
I'll be your enemy too
Be my enemy
Wooh
Be my enemy
Be my enemy
Be my enemy
Be my enemy
Wooh
Wooh
Wooh
Wooh
Wooh
Wooh
Woo-aah
